Introduce your Product or Company to the Next Generation of Woodworkers!

Becoming a SkillsUSA partner means exposing your brand to woodworking students and teachers!

SkillsUSA is a leading national Career and Technical Education (CTE) organization with over 300,000 student and teacher members. The organization promotes skilled trades as well as employability or “soft” skills. Students compete in their skilled trade area and advance to higher levels, ultimately competing at Nationals in Kansas City every June.

AWFS staff and volunteers coordinate the SkillsUSA California state and Los Angeles/Orange County (CA) Regional Cabinetmaking and Introductory Woodworking contests and we are looking for volunteers and sponsors!

How can industry partners get involved?

• Participate in the Technical Committee with developing the contest – help us align the contest with current industry standards and practices!
• Serve as a contest judge
• Provide materials, supplies or tools for use during the contest
• Provide cash or in-kind prizes or gifts for the students or teachers
• Participate as an exhibitor at the state or national conference
• Host a seminar at the state or national conference

Sponsorship opportunities are available. If you would like to learn more, please contact AWFS Assistant Education Director Adria Torrez at adria@awfs.org or (323) 215-0311.
